Process
I received an invitation for a coding assessment the next day I applied. It is highly likely that the invitations were sent automatically to every applicant.
The whole assessment contains three parts:
- Coding
- CS Fundamentals Multiple Choice Questions
- Logic/Strategic Games
Overall, it would take at least 3 hours in total to finish the whole process.
Questions
-
Coding:
- Built a lining system that sent notifications when customers finish checking out.
- Built a ticket selling system that matches ticket opening and buying needs in real time.
-
CS Fundamentals: Concepts of parallel programming, networking, data structures, and OOP.
-
Games: Developed arithmetic calculation, moving blocks, and shape guessing games. These are typical games seen in Google Play ads. While not difficult, they were time-consuming.
